Marib, Newsyemen, Marib al-Taweel:
The Islah party, the local branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, is trying to marginalize the role of the Marib tribes in the face of the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, believing that the tribes will pose a threat to its influence in the future.
The organization directed its media, and the legitimate media it controls, including the Ministry of Defense website, and its activists on social media platforms, not to mention the term tribes that fight alongside the army and be satisfied with the term army.
In response to a question from Newsyemen of the leadership of the Media Center of the Armed Forces of the Ministry of Defense and the Moral Guidance Department controlled by the Brotherhood, about ignoring mention of the tribes in the news they publish from the fronts of Marib, Qaniyah, al-Jawf and Najd al-Ataq, they justified this by saying that the tribes are involved in the ranks of the army, considering that "mentioning the term tribes with the army has a great risk to re-transform the conflict with the Houthi militia using the term tribes."
A tribal source expressed his dissatisfaction with the neglect of the Islah party’s notification of the role of the Ma’rib tribes that are fighting their battles against the Houthi militia with their personal capabilities and heroic men, surprisingly speaking about the tribes ’involvement in the army at a time when the tribes are sending their men to defend their lands and buy weapons from the donations of their men, where the support that you receive from the army is not enough.
The source said that the Murad tribes are fighting the Houthis on the front lines, while members of the army are in the back sites to secure the sites they control.
The source explained "We do not underestimate the role of the army, they make great sacrifices and fight valiantly, but there are partisan parties in the army who are trying hard to cause division,".
A tribal source in the Ma'rib governorate had told Newsyemen that the Islah Party was planning to end the sources of tribal power that were standing in front of its moves to swallow the province and its goods.
It added, the Houthi and Brotherhood project in Marib is weakening and adapting the tribal components and depleting their manpower and symbols that have remained for decades reference in decision and movement and a source of strength.
It explained that the Brotherhood has been plotting the Marib tribes for five years, and the Houthi militia came today to attack the areas where the Murad tribe is located after years of fighting the tribe in defense of legality, as it presented its best men in the face of the Houthi militias.
The source pointed out that the Houthi militias, as well as the Muslim Brotherhood, are working to weaken local communities and empty them of their living forces and the active presence of their components in order to facilitate their task of controlling and extending influence without obstacles.
It stressed that the Houthi escalation against the Murad tribe at a time when the Islah forces are mobilizing the National Army to Shabwa and Abyan to fight the transitional council, is part of the conspiracy against the Marib tribes, where Murad is sacrificed and then Ubaidah, and the Al-Jadaan tribes were also exhausted and other tribal components in Marib were also exhausted.
